“Isaac, does anybody actually win this game?” - my 5YO watching the #hellisreal game with me.

Here’s the link if you wanna read my favorite thing I’ve written in…. a while lol. Free for all readers: open.substack.com/pub/mollykni...

“You are winning the slow race, Isaac” - my 5YO to me this morning. Utterly devastating.

I am so glad that the driver on the phone that went zooming down my residential street to bypass congestion just now had a “coexist” sticker on the back of their SUV

Bike to the polls and park your bike next to other @thewaroncars.bsky.social fans

Glad I didn’t have to rely on my own research

Had my first bike commute this week since congestion pricing went into effect and the improvement is *insane*. Totally transformative.

One of the teachers is driving my kids home tomorrow, so I brought two car seats to school this afternoon. #carryshitolympics

Well at least today I got my 3YO his second MMR jab, early per the pediatrician’s recommendation.

Coming October 21st... "Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile." A new book about how cars ruin everything and what we can do to fight back. Pre-order here: www.lifeaftercars.com

I tuned up my ~10YO Fuji roadbike up for the first time since I became a bike mechanic. It’s a lot of fun to ride such a light frame. I still don’t like dropbars. My summer project is to replace the dropbars with a flat, and upgrade the brakes to hydraulic.

I got to put together this @ternbicycles.com Quick Haul Long bike today. A really practical and thoughtfully designed bike.

Aka the Assault Brompton

My household has used at least 30 eggs so far today

Bankrupted by Egg: A Passover Story

Hey everybody, I have some news to share – I wrote a book! It’s about Columbus and it has maps (lots of maps!) created by the very talented @vickyjohnsondahl.bsky.social. It will be out on December 3, 2025 but you can preorder it now: beltpublishing.com/products/col...

Bought a 6’ ladder so I can clean out my gutters. Very easy to take it home. #CarryShitOlympics #bikesky

Mud!

My job today is putting together this beauty

A big reminder today that while these people are all venal, corrupt, and wicked, they are also incredibly stupid.

My 5YO saw this photo and asked me “Isaac, what is that? Is it food?”

He’s got a lot of money, pulls all the strings, and he has a foreign accent. Must be a Jew.

None of these jokes are funny except a fewsky
